Here's how we installed our oil catch can for the 3rd Generation Toyota Prius.
Make sure when you're looking for the brass adapter, and hoses, bring your pcv tube and occ hardware to test fit them.
- The pcv hose size is 3/8,
- The intake hose size is 3/4,
- The occ adapters were 3/8 and 1/2,
- The brass adapter that we bought threaded end was 3/4 and the barb side was 1/2.
- The amount of feet you need for both hoses is 3 feet each, then you cut it to length when you have it installed.

Installed the catch can and everything went well. I tried the "simple" method first by going under the car and it became impossible to continue because I could only get one hand way up there. It really wasn't that hard to take off the intake manifold. However I did use the "simple" (as suggested below) idea of cutting the small end off of the existing PVC valve hose and using a straight connector to the catch can hose. Even though I only have 85000 miles on my 2012 and have no noticable oil loss, there still was a wet and hard oil crust all inside the manifold and valves. I'm very happy with this idea. Thanks!

It's way easier to clean the EGR pipe and the intake manifold inlet connecting to the EGR pipe. Now, I went for a "deep clean" and What really helped me (removed the EGR assemble) was using an extra reach 12 mm racheting wrench for the three Nuts in the back of EGR cooler. I had a hard time reaching the 4th HIDDEN 12 mm nut underneath the EGR cooler. Finally, used a Torx E8 socket for the two Bolts ( in the back of EGR assembly) and was able to remove the dang thing. Awesome video and very informative on OIl Catch. Thanks NAB!

Simple install: get under car, disconnect hose at PVC valve, place intake catch can hose to PVC valve, connect output hose to PVC hose with 3/8 double ended connect with hose clamps, and your done other than placing the can. Smart addition: drain valve on catch can and stainless steel "brillo-like" pad in catch can. After 10k miles you'll get 10 to 15 cc's of sludge in the can. Better to dump it then burn it in your intake manifold.

I'm planning on using a 3/8 x 3/8 barbed to barbed elbow/90deg connector like someone has done. That would allow one to keep the original pcv hose without cutting the small end. I'm questioning and thinking not to use the steel wool baffle it comes with because some people say it will eventually rust and parts of it will go into the intake.

Update: Replaced pcv valve, installed oil catch can, and cleaned the small port holes on intake with pipe brushes which I think that was probably the reason for the cold start stutter.

Successful install on 2013 plugin 302K miles. I used a 3/8 x 3/8 barbed to barbed elbow/90deg connector from Lowes and the 5 foot fuel line hose from amazon was just enough with a little slack left for both ways. So about 2.5 feet each way works. I kept the original pcv hose on the intake and moved the hose down right below the map sensor. I wasn't sure if I should put the hose up against the engine or down, but I chose to go down because concerned about the heat of the engine and I can also easily replace or keep an eye on the connection without removing intake manifold. I did not use the stringy steel wool baffle because concerned about it rusting before I would notice the rust starting. Maybe will put something better as others suggest but if the oil level is low when I change then not much of a concern I suppose.

Thank you for the video! I just did this work (along with intake manifold cleanup, PCV valve, EGR line). Can is only $25 on amazon now . Couple improvements: 1) you don't need a new larger tube adapter. I just re-used the PCV->intake on the larger side, flipped it up, then bought a 90deg elbow (1/2" shark water line works great) and ran 3/8 fuel line (5ft was perfect to do both, cut at the OCC when done to get max even lines - supplied hose is too thin). 2) as other said, not need to pull coolant lines off (put throttle to side) 3) ordered the plastic bracket from 3D online vendor (white ABS for strength/heat) for $11 (second was just $3.50). Had to sand it to fit diameter (little tight). just put it all together and everything runs fine... onto EGR cooler next (harder project) as the EGR pipe had some serious solid chunks of carbon! intake manifold connection was really clogged too.

Great videos, thanks. I saw a comment on the Toyota GB/UK web page that said if you use 0-20 oil instead of 5-30, there is less splash into the PCV. They said that thicker oil is the cause of oil entering the PCV. Perhaps that is true for newer engines, but in my experience as engines age they tend to blow more oil through the PCV in any case. I've only done 43,000km in my P410 2017 Corolla Hybrid (Australia). I've been using 5-30 because of the heat in Brisbane, Australia, but I might try 0-20, after I've cleaned out the PCV and inlet to see if it has any oil in it yet - probably at 50,000km service.

Do you think OCC might not be functioning as it supposed to or should I replace with the heavy duty hose ( thicker one) , like the one I got that connects from PCV valve to inlet of OCC. Do you think I need to get a vacuum hose which is thicker than the one I installed ( maybe I got radiator hose ) . Thank you for you reply.

What is your thought on installing the PVC valve outside the engine intake manifold assembly? So where the PVC valve is suppose to be, install a steel nipple and connect the end with 3/8 hose. After a short distance install the PVC valve. The ideas is that it'll be easier to access the PVC without disassembling the entire mainfold.

Is the reason for this and cleaning oil in the intake manifold all due to worn rings?

Yes. Worn rings produce blowby

Thank you for your videos. They've helped a lot! I'm starting my intake manifold cleaning, egr cooler cleaning, replacing the pcv valve and installing a catch can. It will be a busy few days. My question is which side is the OUTPUT and which is the INPUT for the PCV valve? I imagine that the piece you attach the hose to is the OUTPUT on the PCV valve? And that would go to the INPUT for the OCC? Is this correct? Also, It's better to use silicone on the hoses instead of wd40. Thanks again!

@NutzAboutBolts 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, the pcv is the output and the input is into the canister. We used WD-40 all the time and it always work, we don’t like the silicone because it leaves a residue when done but you can use it if you want.

@asrDogman 6 жыл бұрын

That is what I figured. Better safe than sorry though! You need some 1/4 snap on tools! Makes getting into those tight spots easier! :) WD-40 eats rubber, not supposed to, but it does. But I imagine the hosed will need to be replaced before anything else. Thanks again.

Snap ones expensive. As for WD-40 eating rubbers, never heard of it but I will watch out for the hose. It can sustain oil and brake clean.

@davidhardwick1322 5 жыл бұрын

Great videos, thanks. I saw a comment on the Toyota GB/UK web page that said if you use 0-20 oil instead of 5-30, there is less splash into the PCV. They said that thicker oil is the cause of oil entering the PCV. Perhaps that is true for newer engines, but as engines age they tend to blow more oil through the PCV in my experience. Having said that, I've only done 43,000km in my P410 2017 Corolla Hybrid (Australia). I've been using 5-30 because of the heat in Brisbane, Australia, but I might try 0-20, after I've cleaned out the PCV and inlet to see if it has any oil in it yet - probably at 50,000km service.

Not sure about gen4 prius, but in gen 3, quick way to check is to take off the air filter assembly and look into the bottom of throttle body. In gen 3 prius, you can see pooling of oil there which immedietly meant that oil was pooling in from pcv valve and going to cylinders causing future issues.

@euc_bbq 4 жыл бұрын

Catches dirty oil vapors instead of recirculating it into the intake manifold. It over time will cause gunk build up on valves and could cause knock during startup. Catch cans are common practice in supercharged and turbo cars. It is just 1 more piece of insurance to keep your vehicle lasting

@SweetLou0523 4 жыл бұрын

This gen of Prius is infamous for oil consumption issues. My 2011 is using about 2 whole quarts between changes. This is caused by one of two issues: bad piston rings (not hugely common, but can happen) or a failed PCV valve. When the pcv valve fails, it allows oil to get pushed from the block into the intake and burned. Changing the pcv will stop this, but if it fails, nothing stops the oil from getting into the intake before you notice the symptoms. The catch can does just that. You will still lose oil when the pcv fails, but at least it isn’t going into the intake. Crap design on Toyota’s part honestly.
